Putting on shades for the summer!

This summer we replaced the venetian blinds in seven Central Campus residence halls. The new Mecho shades that were installed complete the campus with this standard for window treatments. We have found that the Mecho shades are more durable and easier to repair than the old blinds. The photo shows old blinds in Brown Hall on the left and new blinds on the right in New Castle. The buildings that were completed were Warner, New Castle, Kent, Brown, Harter, Sharp and Sypherd. Cannon, Squire, Sussex, and Smyth were completed last summer.

Sharp Hall receives new hallway carpeting

In a serious of summer posts I will be highlighting the projects that are transforming the campus residence halls this summer. One of the first projects to be completed is replacement of the carpet in the hallways of Sharp. The old carpet will be recycled. Sharp also received new Mecho shade window treatments as well as many other Central Campus buildings. These will be spotlighted next week as that project finishes up.
